ok, I'm supposed to be home right now doing childcare--I'm 15 minutes late--but check this out, via languagelog, there is a whole genre out there of text generators devoted to creating random scholarly papers using something called a "context free grammar"
This generates articles in computer science.
This generates articles in postmodern lit theory.
this generates undergraduate papers (I think my students have used it)
I am pleased to see that a hard science like CS can generate as much gobbledygook as literary criticism and undergraduates.
Ok, now I go home.
